Once your using USB for primary storage you run in to a host of problems not the lest of witch is the requirement of having two power supplys on all the time. I think the best option is a nettop like the VortexBox appliance that uses 3.5" drives. But if you just want to convert an old laptop 500GB 2.5" drives are fairly inexpensive and large enough for most music collections. I don't ever see the need to using USB as primary storage. -- agillis rip, tag, get cover artÂ… All you do is insert the CD! http://vortexbox.org agillis Lead Developer VortexBox ------------------------------------------------------------------------ agillis's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21140 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76818
